Liberal television host Bill Maher blasted the mainstream media during his show on Friday night, saying that their “nonstop gloom and doom … gives Trump the chance to play the optimist, and optimists tend to win American elections.”
“Now that we’re starting to see some hope in all this, don’t hope-shame me,” Maher said on the HBO show “Real Time With Bill Maher.” “You know, the problem with nonstop gloom and doom is it gives Trump the chance to play the optimist, and optimists tend to win American elections. FDR said, ‘The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.’ You know, as full of shit as he is, I could see Trump riding that into a second term.”
“Everyone knows Corona is no walk in the park. Because you literally can’t walk in the park. But at some point, the daily drumbeat of depression and terror veers into panic porn,” Maher continued, adding, “You don’t have to put hot sauce on a jalapeno.”
“We need the news to calm down and treat us like adults. Trump calls you fake news, don’t make him be right,” he concluded.

This comes one week after Maher mocked the liberals who have been crying “racism” over the use of terms like “Wuhan coronavirus” or “Chinese coronavirus.”
“Can’t we even have a pandemic without getting offended?” Maher said.
He later added that it was truly scary to him that people “would rather die from the virus than call it by the wrong name.”
“It’s not racist to point out that eating bats is batshit crazy,” he said. “In 2007, researchers at the University of Hong Kong wrote, ‘The presence of a large reservoir of SARS-CoV-like viruses in horseshoe bats, together with the culture of eating exotic mammals in southern China, is a time bomb.’”
“The answer is we should blame China. Not Chinese Americans,” he concluded. “But we can’t stop telling the truth because racists get the wrong idea… We can’t afford the luxury anymore of non-judginess toward a country with habits that kill millions of people.”
We don’t often agree with Maher, but it seems that when it comes to the coronavirus, he’s actually making sense! Liberals would do well to listen to him about COVID-19, because he seems to know what he’s talking about.

Perhaps you should go with the optimist, Maher, instead of your comedy based negativism, that I know is your nature, but couldn’t you do something for the country for a change.
You know you’re in trouble when Bill Maher is the voice of reason on the left. It’s not the first time either. But these jack wagons hear nothing but buzzing in their ears. “Orange Man Bad”, “Must complete coup”…..the reason? They’re all getting money from Soros and/or his shadow companies. They’ve gone so far left the democratic party no longer exists. They’ve sold out the American public to enrich themselves. It’s truly disgusting they continue to have anyone vote for them. How is it you can’t see that? Not saying Trump is the next hot chocolate with lil marshmallows, but….. he has done what NO OTHER politician in recent memory has done. Exactly what he campaigned on. And yet, the liberals in all their psychotic hysteria call him a liar, about. literally. everything. And yet, praised Oblamo for 8 years, while he lied and blamed EVERYONE else for 8 years, now attempting to take credit for what Trump has done. Brain damage has gone mainstream
Hey Maher, I’m willing to bet that you don’t have the balls to say that President Trump is full of sh!! to his face.. Wanna take me up on that? Want to know what I’d do to you if you said that to me? You’re a big bad talker when you’re safe behind your walls, but how are you in the open?
Hey billie boy. You wanted and asked for a RESSISSION TO BRING DOWN TRUMP, So tell me just how well is that workin’ for ya billie boy ?
This is the Minister of Propaganda in the new socialist Democratic movement? Well bless his little heart.
That makes him a real hero,huh?
Call Bill Maher what you want, but he’s calls it like it is. He always has.
Well, Bill, you’re almost right. Trump’s not playing, but he is making the media and the Dems show who they really are, and it ain’t pretty.
Omg—Bill, are you finally seeing through your liberal friends for what they really are….. which is fake news in everything they do. Since 2016, the media has been critical, name calling, racist, liars. The liberals would rather defend the “batshit crazy Chinese Communist Culture” and to support keeping America shut down; instead of supporting Trump in any way. Bill, I am a Christian who loves everyone. I do not dislike you in any way. I respect you the way God wants everyone to do. I can respectfully disagree with anyone and still love them. Why can’t Democrat’s—especially Pelosi and Schumer and the fake media, conduct their day to day operations in this manner? What the media has done to Trump since 2016 is a complete turnoff to American citizens. The ratings are reflecting our disgust. When I was a young pup, if you turned into the 6:00 news a little late on ABC, you could “turn the dial” over to NBC and catch the same information on NBC or CBS. Those days are over! The networks are competing to see which one can report the most lies! I appreciate your article so much and fully respect your viewpoint. Good Luck in getting the networks to listen. Maybe they should go visit a wet market and see the skinning of live animals and the lack of sanitary conditions and see how the feel after that!!
